【Abstract】 Objective To study the effect of applying mouse nerve growth factor in treating traumatic optic nerve contusions. Methods 65 patients with traumatic optic nerve contusions admitted to Anyang Eye Hospital between April 2018 and January 2021 were enrolled and divided, using random number table, into study group (n =33) and control group (n =32). Patients in control group were treated with conventional drugs, while patients in study group were jointly treated with mouse nerve growth factor besides the conventional drugs used in control group. The following indexes such as pre- and post-treatment best corrected visual acuity, changes of visual evoked potential (VEP), mean light sensitivity (MS) and mean visual field defect (MD), and abnormalities in blood, urine and blood biochemical examinations were compared between the two groups. Results After treatment, the best corrected visual acuity in study group was significantly superiorto that in control group (Z =- 2.048, P=0.041), the VEP-P100 wave amplitude and MS were significantly higher than control group (t=2.915 and 4.320, P=0.005, P<0.001), and VEP-P100 wave latency and MD were significantly lower than control group (=2.866 and 6.271, P = 0.006, P < 0.001). The abnormalities of WBC, RBC, LY, NEUT, Hb,PLT and HCT in blood, WBC, RBC, GLU, PRO and KET in urine, and ALT, AST, Cr, BUN and TBil in study group didn’t differ significantly from control group (χ2 =0.318, 0.000, 0.000, 2.001, 0.985, 0.383, 0. 001, 0.383, 0.318,0.985, 1.047, 0.985, 0.383, 1.047, 0.128, 0.318 and 0.985, P =0.573, 0.982, 0.982, 0.157, 0.321, 0. 536, 0.975,0.536, 0.573, 0.321, 0.306, 0.321, 0.536, 0.306, 0.721, 0.573 and 0.321). Conclusion Mouse nerve growth factor in the treatment of traumatic optic nerve contusions can significantly improve the physiological function of retinal ganglion cells and facilitate the restoration of visual function, and the therapeutic benefits were definite, with high safety. |
